Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1103740A2] A chain for transmission or transportation comprises a plurality of chain links (1) interconnected by at least one connection member (2) such that the links (1) articulate relative to one another. The links (1) each have a cover plate (6) with two opposed slots (8) that combine to form a closed elongate slot (10) when the links (1) are articulated to a predetermined nested position. The connection member (2) may be inserted or removed through the slot (10) during assembly or disassembly of the chain. The cover plate (6) is configured to block removal of a connection member (2) from the link when adjacent links are not in said predetermined nested position. <IMAGE>
